I will respectfully disagree. This is not intended to be a medal at all. This was designed to be a plaque or something similar... it was...
I don't see anything in hand. These types of mounted plaques are typically one sided. The holes were for nails to mount it on something larger. I...
In hand I see what you are talking about but it looks like just some pitting. possibly from heat? And I see no makers mark for the medal.
Ok, It gets stranger. It looks like this company "Amedee Thibout & Co" was a French Piano maker... The obverse of this piece appears also to...
Help with Spanish American War(?) Piece. Hey gang! This crossed my desk this morning and with a little research I am finding some interesting...
Alright guys. Here is one for fun. I am going to send it in for grading. What do you think it will come back as? [ATTACH][ATTACH]
I will probably take it to central states in Chicago and ask NGC to show me where it is.

Yep, I think those might be a cheaper alternative then to paying big premiums for coins like Eagles.

Most likely Mexican or South American... but possibly from Spain itself... the mintmarks can be used to determine the countries of origin.
That's a pretty good haul for $40. The 1875 CC Above dime is worth more then half of that ;) The Prussian thaler (first coin) is also worth more...
I'm not arguing, just having a spirited discussion... that's what we are here for right? I think that if resubmitted it wouldn't get a grade...
I understand what you are saying. I do the same thing on a regular basis. But this coin in an MS64 holder and this coin in an MS66 holder SHOULD...
Cause in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter what the slab says on this coin as long as it is in a slab. It'll go for the same...
I went through a big box of proof 1964 halves that I had laying around and I found 4 of the transitional pieces with the broken rays on the...
Dude! Cool pickup!
I wouldn't call them juiced... I try to make my pictures look exactly (or as close as I can get) to how it looks in hand. I don't mess with the...
I would agree with the 63 grade. The 1883's were the second most common coin found in the hoard with just a little less then 63% of the entire...
Hey gang! I thought it would be fun to track this auction and see how good you guys are at pricing these things. This coin is for sale through...
